Tern! Tern! Tern! (Okay, you guys from the 60’s know where I going with this.)

As I stated a couple of days ago, the Common Terns are the stealing the show in Gloucester Harbor. I enjoy playing with the possibilities as I shoot these fascinating birds as they fly by at 30-40 MPH, trying to freeze the bird and get something uniquely Gloucester in the image.

Starting out, this is “The Enforcer”. You hockey fans know what I’m talking about. The enforcer is the guy on the team that will pick a fight with anyone he feels is out of line and smile all the while he is in the penalty box. Such was this guy. Terns are generally gregarious, but this guy decided that a certain area was his and he took on all comers.

I got this tern with Rocky Neck in the background.

Looking towards Ocean Crest.

I’m not sure what we are looking at here…this tern was coming so fast, I didn’t have time to take notes!
